The Trump administration delivered a swift and powerful rebuke to NBC's Saturday Night Live after comedian Michael Che made what can only be described as a disgusting assassination joke targeting President Donald Trump during the show's weekend update segment.
The despicable comment came as President Trump was enjoying a cultured evening at the Kennedy Center, attending the opening night of the musical Chicago - showing the stark contrast between a president engaging with the arts and the gutter-level "comedy" emanating from NBC's studios.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn't mince words when addressing the network's latest attack on the president. The administration's response sends a clear message that the days of letting the mainstream media and their entertainment allies get away with promoting violence against President Trump are over.
NBC's Pattern of Hatred
This latest incident is just another example of how far the radical left and their media accomplices will go in their deranged obsession with attacking President Trump. For years, Saturday Night Live has served as nothing more than a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, but making light of presidential assassination crosses every line of human decency.
Remember, this is the same network that spent four years pushing Russian collusion hoaxes and treating every Trump policy as if it were the end of democracy. Now they're literally joking about killing the democratically elected president of the United States.
"The hypocrisy is staggering. These are the same people who lecture us about 'threats to democracy' while their comedians make assassination jokes on national television."
Patriots across America are sick and tired of the double standard. Can you imagine if a conservative comedian had made similar jokes about Barack Obama or Joe Biden? The FBI would have been knocking down doors within hours.
Time for Accountability
The Trump administration's strong response signals a new era where the mainstream media can no longer hide behind claims of "comedy" when they promote violence against conservatives. NBC and Saturday Night Live must be held accountable for this dangerous rhetoric.
How long will everyday Americans tolerate this kind of hatred being broadcast into their homes by a network that claims to serve the public interest?
